Athens is replacing sections of worn asphalt with grey Aliveri marble around the Unknown Soldier memorial in Syntagma Square. The redesign project was unanimously approved by the Central Council of Modern Monuments (KSNM), a Greek heritage council that advises the Ministry of Culture.
The initiative marks a significant architectural and material upgrade to the public space surrounding one of the country's most sacred sites, substituting standard road surfacing with traditional Greek marble.
